There is some confusion in the 1841 England Census as it suggests Charles Monk's wife was Sarah and not Mary. The age was also incorrect. I think the enumerator confused the wife Mary and the daughter Sarah. Mary's age would have been 30 and Sarah's 7.

From the 1841 England Census (HO107 Piece 340/9 Folio 6 Page 7) Sarah, 36, was with her husband Charles, 35, Baker, in Elmdon, Essex, England. With them were their children John, 6, Susan, 3, and Frances, 1. The parents were not born in Essex but the children were. Also present was Sarah Bard, 14, Servant born in Essex.

Thank You

I would like to thank all the people who have contributed to The Williams Family Tree database over the years and to those who continue to do so. Without your help The Williams Family Tree would not be anything like as large as it is. I am very grateful for every piece of information whether it be a name correction, a photograph, a copy of a certificate, some biographical information or a whole data file.

The Project

Initially, the Williams family from Aberdovey was the main target of research. Being a very busy port, Aberdyfi produced sea-faring families with many of the men reaching the pinnacle of their trade as Master Mariners. My grandfather, John Davies Williams, served as a 'Boy' aboard the schooner Sarah Davies at the age of 13.
